Hi all and Happy New Year to you.
I'm not having a good time with my VE keys (the normal ones, not the flip ones). The first key disintegrated in my hand after about a year of use and went everywhere. I reassembled it OK, but it soon did the same again several times and it never really worked all that well ever again (needed to really work the buttons). So, I started using the second key, but I went crabbing last weekend and it got wet and stopped working. I don't wanna break it open and WD40 it because I'm afraid that it'd start falling apart again like the first piece of cr@p. Don't wanna pay some extreme amount for a replacement either. Surprised these issues have not shown up here. So, two questions:
1. Is there a good way to fix a VE key so that it doesn't self destruct?
2. What's the best way to recover from a wet VE key?
Thanks.
